    A friend and I have the same birthday and many common friends so we decided to celebrate together with friends on a Friday night at Foolproof Brewing for drinks, food and dancing. First, the parking is easy and free with a lot located directly across the street. Next, the cool factor is here because the brewery is located in a former factory so the brick walls, wood floors, posts and ceilings plus the large windows make it an interesting space. They have lots of pop art around to enjoy, some games and comfortable seating with booths, tables and high tops. There may be a classic car or two on display as well since they share a space with the Black Horse Garage. Now we explore the drinks. This is a brewery after all. The tap menu has a variety of their own brews including lager, American amber, spiced, rice, IPA and sour to name a few. I enjoy the spiced pumpkin ale myself. The drink menu does not stop here because the drinks are not limited to beer. They have wines, mocktails, craft cocktails and just about anything in between. Finally we explore the food. The catering group Fork & Fingers has a kitchen here where chef Mark McKinley designed a tap room menu to go along with the cool vibe of Foolproof Brewing. We explored some plates including the mussels, cauliflower, kale salad and more. Everyone who tried the food were pleasantly satisfied. The service was friendly and efficient and they got our various orders and checks straight even though there were lots of moving around and comings and goings. Overall a great experience.

    We'd visited the original Foolproof while visiting Rhode Island. It's a pretty nice taproom with good beer, and I think I remember a food truck there. Imagine my surprise when I saw a Foolproof open up in Bridgeport. Unlike its older brother, the Connecticut location is the bigger little brother, taking over the entire top floor of an old factory, complete with a full kitchen, party spaces, and for some reason a car elevator. (No, you can't park inside.) Naturally, we had to stop in, and we were not disappointed. The classic Rhode Island beers came west, and joining them are some new creations and some pilot recipes, too. New for Foolproof is a full kitchen (unless the Pawtucket location got one since I last visited), and it doesn't disappoint. They have some Ocean State-inspired seafood boils and dishes, as well as somewhat-upscale pub fare. We ordered the fried pickles, and a hot chicken sandwich and the Chicken Bacon Smash. Well, she accidentally got the fried pickles as an upsold side (did we just discover the secret menu?), so we split her pickles and my fries -- best of both worlds, so I can't complain. The sandwiches and burgers are a little small, but they're priced appropriately and pack a lot of flavor under that small fancy bun. I'd say we'll be back, but this was our second visit. Sorry for not getting to this sooner. Heads up: the primary parking lot is across the street. There's a gate and a payment terminal, but it's always been open when we've gone. While there are a handful of spaces near the building, bring an umbrella on a rainy day. Be mindful if you have mobility issues, but there is an elevator once you get inside.

    New brewery in Bridgeport and I am a fan! Super cool, industrial setup with a great outdoor space that I'm sure will be swamped in the summer. Had a bunch of great beers, food was tasty. Definitely worth checking out! Free parking lot across the street a huge plus too.

    Upstairs hallways is so cute.

    The service at Two Roads is next level. My friend and I visited all three buildings and everyone…read morewas awesome. The bartenders were really knowledgeable and explained every beer we asked about and Jason in Area 2 told us all about how they make their Whiskey it was a really cool process made us appreciate the drink more. You'll definitely have a great time here there's so much to do we loved trying the beer and espresso martini flight. Will definitely be back I love the quiet area in the tasting room and all the games they have!

    "Good beer brings people together. Great breweries make you want to stay."…read more We came to Two Roads Brewing for a UConn alumni basketball watch party, and it turned out to be a really fun place to catch a game. The biggest highlight was easily the beer selection. The variety was impressive, with a wide range of styles that made it easy for everyone in our group to find something they enjoyed. Whether you prefer something light and crisp or something a little more bold, they seem to have a beer that fits the mood. Food was honestly the weaker part of the experience. It was fine and did the job, but it was not particularly memorable. Nothing was bad, it just did not stand out compared to how strong the drink program is. Service was excellent. The staff were extremely kind and attentive throughout the event. Even with a busy crowd watching the game, they stayed friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience feel welcoming. The ambiance is where Two Roads really shines. The brewery space is large, lively, and perfect for group gatherings. Watching a game there with a room full of fans creates a great energy, and the open brewery atmosphere gives the place a fun and social feel. Four stars for a brewery that delivers great beer, great service, and a lively place to watch a game, even if the food is not the main attraction.
